If you want to watch something light, feel-good and happy anime, this one is highly recommended. Snow White with the Red Hair or Akagami no Shirayukihime is a whole new level of fairy tale that everyone should watch. If we look at the Disney princesses’ perspective, the story is a Cinderella/Snow White rolled into one. Cinderella because she’s just a plain town girl until she met the prince.
Shirayuki is a skilled herbalist town girl who escaped the prince of Tanburn because he wants her to become his concubine. What’s odd about her is that she has a red hair and in their world, it is very rare to see a person with a red hair. She met Zen in the woods while trying to look for a place to rest. He jumped from the wall and fell because he was surprised to see Shirayuko. They both became friends, as well as Zen’s aids Mitsuhide Lowen and Kiki Seiran.
Because Shirayuki is rare, there are a lot of people trying to take advantage and sell her, but of course, Prince Zen is always there to rescue. This is also a feel-good movie if you talk about being yourself and be courageous.
The anime’s first season ran from July 6, 2015 to September 21, 2015 and the second season started on January 11,2016.
